Radiology reports play a crucial role in clinical decision-making. High report quality and completeness are essential for efficient patient care. However, the clarity and comprehensiveness of radiology reports are often points of contention among referring physicians. This study evaluated referring physicians’ views on the quality and clinical utility of radiology reports

Optimization of shoulder synthetic MRI through post-processing and comparison with conventional MRI
MRI is pivotal in the assessment of shoulder disorders because of its excellent soft-tissue contrast. Recently studies have demonstrated the potential of quantitative maps acquired using a multi-echo spin-echo (MESE) sequence for the diagnosis of shoulder osteoarthritis and supraspinatus tendinosis [1,2]. However, the long examination time for MR assessments is a burden for patients. To reduce the scan time, rapid imaging techniques such as parallel imaging, compressed sensing, and deep-learning…

Assessment of inter- and intrareader agreement among different stenosis quantification methods in coronary CT angiography
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has become a first-line diagnostic test in the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and stable angina [1–3], especially in patients with low to intermediate pre-test probability, having been promoted in recent international guidelines and consensus papers [4]. A recent randomized-controlled trial (DISCHARGE) demonstrated similar major adverse cardiovascular events using CT when compared to invasive coronary angiography as a first-line imaging modality in pat…

Carotid plaque CTA analysis in patients with initial and recurrent ischemic stroke
Ischemic stroke, also known as cerebral infarction, is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by obstruction of blood flow in the brain’s blood vessels, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia in the brain tissue, eventually leading to brain cell damage or death [1]. Stroke is a common cause of death and disability worldwide [2]. Stroke includes ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, of which ischemic stroke accounts for approximately 85 % of strokes [3]. In recent years, its prevalence has continue…
